SIR – I would like to issue a public apology to all the many people I’ve told that the UK’s contribution to the EU is £40 million per day – this is completely wrong.

The Government’s own statistics show that the UK will contribute £55,800,000,000 to the EU this year – that actually works out at £152.8 million for every single day of the year – in comparison £40 million a day seems like an absolute bargain!
